Pass the Parcel ... well Journal!

I recently signed up to take part in an Altered Journal Round Robin.
The rules:
Alter a journal.
Choose a theme.
Send it on it's way.
Eagerly await it's arrival home.

There were 8 of us involved and it was a great project to be part of. We all enjoyed it. It was nerve wracking knowing you were part of someones final project.

Mine started off as a very old book which ended up totally transformed.
Theme chosen: Things that make you happy

The finished outer cover:
 
... when you open the book:
...scrap fabric pieces and original book page...
...a sample of the numbered pages:
...each one has a page taken from Anne Of Green Gables,
with a different stitched border,
a layered, numbered tag (number has been die cut)...
...Back of each page:
...a tiny stamped tag which each artist signed & dated...
...another peek at inside pages:
...inside back cover:
...with the sneaky peek of lace...
...contribution.
...bunting is covered in words of happy things, die cut lettering, Paperchase stickers...
...Patterned page:
...mix of paper and fabric,
...my most favourite quote stamped over the top,
"tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it"...
...My collaged typewriter:
...fabric scrap, machine stitched detail, brads and cutest label...
 
...Now for the Artists work:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A great project to be part and can't wait for future ones.
Thank you Kitty Luna

This looks fun!
I just tried the link to facebook but it didn't bring up the page.
Let me know when another round robin is starting, wouldn't mind trying something new!
